85804A Deluxe Professional Oil Primed Linen Stretched Canvas Centurion SZ 11”x 14” $60.34 (6 in a pack)
As an oil painter, it is important to work on oil primed surfaces. Oil prime will provide the best chemical bond for the paint layers that go on, afterwards. Secondly, gesso are acrylic based, and either repel oil if they have too high of a resin base, or absorb the oil too much if it is too matte, making color sink and look dull and lifeless. Oil priming allows the color to sit cleanly and brightly on the surface, with refraction of the white from below. Luxurious texture and archival tradition of linen!
HOWEVER, when cost is a serious issue, cotton canvases will do and can be purchased individually at Guiry’s.

The oil paints listed below represent a the more common pigments by reputable manufactures and used by professional artists.
